Frommer's Portable Turks & Caicos

by Alexis Lipsitz Flippin

Frommer's Portable Guides are for the short-term traveler who insists on value and doesn't want to pack a full-size guidebook. The Portables have the same commitment to accuracy and detail as the Frommer's Complete Guides, with the same broad demographic appeal, from budget to deluxe. Frommer's Portable Turks & Caicos, 1st Edition , includes complete information for some of the most popular islands in this region—Providenciales (Provo), Grand Turk, Salt Cay, and more—in one easy-to-carry guide. We currently publish a complete guide to Frommer's Caribbean that includes coverage of the Turks and Caicos islands. This new portable guide will be geared toward travelers visiting only this region and will feature more detailed information on the islands than is found in Frommer's Caribbean . Learn about the best accommodations, from small boutique hotels to large all-inclusive resorts; the best restaurants for fresh fish; the best shops and galleries; the best bars, clubs, and casinos; the best beaches; the best spots for snorkeling and scuba diving—and much more.

Great little book to help your plan your vacation in Turks & Caicos! It's rather difficult to find a travel guide solely for TCI and I was so happy Frommer's had a detailed guide to the popular island destination.

This is a no-frills travel book. It has your typical where to eat, drink, and stay chapters as well as popular activities. (Side note: I would read up on the over-harvesting of conchs in these areas since this book lead me to believe they were abundant but locals say otherwise.) There is plenty of information to get you ready for your travels.

The maps are helpful since there are literally no addresses on the islands. Directions from locals proved to be rather sketchy so it was very nice to have this guide with its maps.

The only thing that might make this book a better buy is color and pictures.
